Description
English: The Hieronymus Marini map of Venice, 1512. The first manuscript world map with "Brasil" in South America. Preserved in the Library of the Ministry for Foreign Relations, Rio de Janeiro. The map shows Jerusalem at its center and is oriented with the south at the top (the image has been rotated prior to uploading). These features were uncommon in 1512. Some details point to an enlargement of a small book illustration as source. In a prior transmission stage the map may have been centered on the meridian of Rome. The rivers are remarkably accurate.
